Value Unit-based pricing

Value Unit pricing for eligible IBM System z IBM International Program License Agreement
(IPLA) programs enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise
aggregation. Each System z IPLA product with Value Unit pricing has
a single price per Value Unit and a conversion matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit,
for converting from some designated measurement to Value Units. Most commonly,
Millions of Service Units (MSUs) is the measurement designated by IBM to be converted
to Value Units. Some other measurements are engines or messages. Since MSUs
are the most common measurement, that measurement will be used for the remainder
of this description.

Value Unit pricing offers price benefits for you. For each System z IPLA
program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy
applicable IBM terms
and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Each
of the various Value Unit Exhibits stipulate that the larger your required
license capacity, the fewer Value Units per MSU you will need. Value Unit
Exhibits are uniquely identified by a three digit code and referred to using
the nomenclature VUExxx, where xxx is the three digit code.

Subsequent acquisitions of Value Unit priced programs offer additional
price benefits. The quantity of each System z IPLA program that you have
acquired is referred to as entitled license capacity. If you wish
to grow your entitled license capacity for a System z IPLA program, the calculation
to determine additional needed Value Units is based upon the number of Value
Units already acquired.

For each System
z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, you should:

Determine the required license capacity, in MSUs

Aggregate the MSUs across the enterprise

Convert the total MSUs to Value Units, using the applicable Value Unit
Exhibit

Multiply the price per Value Unit by the total number of Value Units to
determine the total cost

To simplify conversion from the designated measurement to Value Units or
vice-versa, use the Value Unit Converter Tool. For additional information
or to obtain a copy of the Value Unit Converter Tool, visit the Value Unit
Converter Tool Web site
